The Democratic editors who have

to of the appropriation of the thou
sand dollars for the purchase ofseeds
to help the farmers of drouth- stricken
Texas, on the ground of its unconsti

when James X. Polk was at the helm
In 1916, when the famine in Ireland
was carrying thousands to the grave,
the government fitted out two of its
frigates- one of which was the ia
nous old Constitution and these were
loaded with breadstnffs and sent
over to Ireland. The grain was dis
tributed, and through this action
many thousand lives were saved.
At that time the whole world joined
in praising the United States for the
good feeling that prompted the act;
but now Democratic President de-
clares similar action unconstitu.

pretty chance to declare their views
on the recent Senatorial squabble.
These questions give wide range
for speculation and discussion. The
tenure of Office of the appointee and
the Governors power to reappoint
are exceedingly pertinent and timely,
for really all the debate about the
power of the Legislature to elect is
idle, though interesting. The Legis-
lature may have, doubtless has, the
legal and constitutional right to elect.
An effort may be made to go into an
election, but there will he no choice.
How could there be- Camden's sup
porters at the late session certainly
will not consent to support new man.
1t is just as far beyond the pale OF
supposition that enough of the twelve
anti Camden Democrats will consent
to 60 into another caucus the out
come of which must be the nomina-
ton of ex. Senator Camden. The Re-
publican policy is just as definitely
and firmly marked out and will be
more rigidly adhered to in the future
than in the past. Therefore it is
morally certain that no question OF
the legality of an election of a Sena-
tor at the called session will ever be
presented to the u. s. Senate for its
consideration.

THE ROAD QUESTION.

EDITORS MISUNDERSTANDING that
you are in favor of advancement and
improvement, / hope now that there
is no political fish to fry, that you
will open your columns to those who
are willing to discuss Tor cuss) the
road system. At the last election we
went through the farce of voting to
change the present system and SUBJ
stitute something else, nobody knew
just what; those who voted for the
change said we could not make it any
worse /; the others said we might jump
out of the frying pan into the fire.
Now, the question seems to be, are
our roads in as good condition as they
ought to be for the amount expended
on them have we any system what
ever in force; or, is every road sur
veyor law unto himself; can the
law be enforced requiring all males
between certain ages to work two
days free on the roads each year; if
legal, how does it come that one man
is compelled to labor while his neigh
Dor looks on? We ought, with the
natural advantages we have of good
drainage and free stone, to have the
best and cheapest roads in the U.
s., l may say. but comparisons are
odious. Let us hear from the road;
don't stick in the mud. FARMER.

THE WARS OF THE FUTURE.

AT the rate science and invention
are perfecting future modes of war
fare, it is hardly possible to foretell
what the end will be. Armies by
sea or land may he exterminated by
the touch of electricity. The latest
type of the Maxim Machine gun
fires seven hundred shot per min
ute. The rapidity of the fire is such
that at a thousand yards range
twenty bullets will strike the target
after the gun ceases to fire, while
by giving the gun very high
elevation, five hundred rounds may
be discharged before the first bullet
strikes the ground. The gun may
be turned readily in every direction.

Gov. Wilson in the recent Senatorial
contest looks likea "Mutual Admira-

I'll tickle you," but Mr.. Lucas got the
best tickling. Tom Tabb Vanmetre
says that the defeat of Camden is the
greatest victory that has occurred in
tais State since Col. Sencindiver re-
treated from Bloomery so hastily
twenty-five years ago. Mr.. V. says
that he has won so many cigars off
Frank Homsher on this contest, that
the factories have had to put on extra
hands tosupply the increased demand.
Mr.. Vanmetre has all along commended
that Camden could not be reelected,
